/dante/includes/… in Child Theme

[Pikay]

Hi.

After the last Update i do have some problems with the child theme.

I did some changes before among others in the /dante/page.php file in my child theme via /dante-child/page.php and it was fine. now the for me important part is outsourced in the file /dante/includes/sf-page-heading.php.

Added this to my child theme –> /dante-child/includes/sf-page-heading.php –> no changes in the frontend. but when i do edit the sourcefile in /dante/includes/sf-page-heading.php it works …

how can i solve the problem with the includes directory and the child-theme?

updates generally are fine, but changes like this are still unnecessary work for me as webmaster. now i do have to check all BASIC files (header.php, page.php etc) for eventual changes because the theme doesn’t work properly.

thanks in advance

Hi,

It’s better to place only the changed function/functions inside the functions.php instead duplicating the entire file.
Give it a try.

I’m not a programmer 😛 so, how can i replace the following part in the /includes/sf-page-heading.php in the functions.php?

### OLD
<?php } else { ?>

<h1 class=”entry-title” <?php echo $article_heading_text; ?>><?php echo $page_title; ?> TITEL</h1>

<?php } ?>
### NEW
<?php } else { ?>

<h1 class=”entry-title” <?php echo $article_heading_text; ?>><?php echo $page_title; ?> TITEL</h1>
<?php if ($page_subtitle) { ?>
<h3><?php echo $page_subtitle; ?></h3>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>

Thanks a lot! 🙂

Hi,

Please locate the function name you are editing that code for. Then copy the whole function to your child themes functions.php and then change the code.

Again: I’m not a programmer ? …

I want to add the following code to /includes/sf-page-heading.php in row 185

<?php if ($page_subtitle) { ?>
<h3><?php echo $page_subtitle; ?></h3>
<?php } ?>

sorry, but i do not understand “Please locate the function name you are editing that code for. Then copy the whole function to your child themes functions.php and then change the code.”

Thx

So in that file is a function, which outputs the page heading. In order to override it in the child theme, you’ll basically want to copy the entire contents of that file to your child theme functions.php file. You can then make the change there, and it will sticky with updates.

Hi,

To help us assist you further could you zip your child theme up and add it here?

– We can inspect it better that way.

Thanks,
David.

Hi,

That error usually means that you have an empty line. You should delete line 27 in your functions.php
Give it a try.
